Surrender To Us, Our Luna (One Luna, Four Alphas) novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: 372-This Is How A Monster Is Born

Author’s POV:

Many Years Ago:

Sometimes evil believes there is no stopping them. The brutality of people increases after their first win.

Later victories make an abuser believe they are invincible, until they are struck with the reality that even a rising sun has to go down every evening.

Poor Gabriel only wanted to do the right thing. He cared for the welfare of the orphans, but the others saw him as a threat.

When he began to open his eyes, Gabriel felt his head was heavy.

The room around him was dim, lit by a few lanterns on the walls.

His arms were pulled back. Thick ropes tied him to a chair.

The floor felt cold under his feet. He had to blink several times in order to clear his vision, and as he did, he wished he had not.

In front of him sat his mate, Marilyn. She was tied to a chair the same way.

Her head leaned forward, and her breathing was soft to the point that he had to focus hard to make sure she was still breathing.

"Marilyn," Gabriel whispered.

His voice carried urgency and guilt. He did not want his wife to suffer.

He did not want to see her like this. She did not deserve it.

She was too kind to be treated this way.

"Marilyn, look at me," he voiced again, pulling against the ropes, but they did not move.

Footsteps echoed from the hallway, and he could tell that several people were arriving.

He adjusted his posture.

"Marilyn, please wake up," he voiced, trying to wake her so she could defend herself if they were planning something.

From what he could tell, there was nothing strange in his body anymore apart from the wolfsbane and silver mixture he had inhaled earlier.

He could still feel it, but very faintly.

"Marilyn," he voiced again, but then the door opened, and several alphas entered.

They came from the south, west, and east. There were no alphas from the north anymore.

"What is this? Why are we here?" Gabriel demanded, clenching his jaw.

His eyes moved to his wife. He was upset that they had tied her like that.

"You should have not objected," one of the alphas from the west replied as he stepped forward.

There was no concern on any of their faces about taking the entire north alphas hostage.

"You caused a problem for all of us," another alpha remarked, crossing his arms across his chest.

Lord William entered the room next. He wore a white suit, almost like he had come to attend an event.

He stood beside the other alphas.

"You ruined everything for us," William remarked. "We will never stop this entertainment. This has been going on for years. Many orphans have already died. If we stop it now, people will start questioning."

For a moment, he looked irritated, as if Gabriel had disappointed him.
